Maryland flag cutting board

Finally finished my Maryland flag cutting board. I struggled mightily on the crosses, trying to get them completely perfect with zero gaps. I first tried cutting the two woods at the same time on my scroll saw. The match up wasn’t so good. So, I then made templates for my router. These were better, but far from flawless. After many hours, I finally gave up and just finished that project. In spite of the flaws, I’m OK with it. Still looks pretty to me.

it looks fantastic, glue will fill the gaps and it will be all good. that’s one heck of a board, love it. I jsut made an open weave board and there are a few minor gaps here and there…noting that injecting some glue deep into the gaps won’t fix.

This is so awesome! Ive wanted to try to make something like this for so long, not necessarily a cutting board but something with the MD flag. those tricky shapes have always held me back though. Great job.
